Before the night
- Test the complete signal path and clean the records you plan to play.
- Arrange seats so every guest can listen comfortably without blocking the turntable.
- Share the start time, address, duration, and any house rules clearly.
During the session
Welcome the room, introduce the listening idea briefly, and keep conversation between sides or records. Leave enough quiet for the music to be the main event.
After the final side
Leave time for conversation, make the next steps clear to guests, and note which pacing, seating, and records worked best for the next room.
